Smiths Detection’s HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX X-ray
scanner has been added to the Transportation Security
Administration’s (TSA) Checkpoint Property Screening System (CPSS)
Mid-Size Qualified Products List (QPL).
The TSA’s CPSS program is designed to replace the
previous generation of X-ray scanners at airports across the US
with the latest computed tomography (CT) X-ray scanning
technology.
The HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is a computed tomography
(CT) X-ray scanner producing high-resolution volumetric 3D images
for quicker baggage assessment, using both visual operator
inspection and automated object recognition, leading to low
false-alarm rates.
The scanner allows for electronics and liquids
to remain in bags, speeding up passenger throughput, enhancing
security and reducing touchpoints.

The mid-size configuration includes an automated bag diverter at
the decision point to be routed as suspect or cleared, further
enhancing passenger throughput and overall experience. The mid-size
option is one of three configurations available for the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX.
As a
qualified product on the QPL, the HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX is eligible for TSA purchase for
mid-size systems.
Inder Reddy, President of Smiths Detection, said, “We are
pleased to confirm that our HI-SCAN 6040 CTiX scanner has been
added to the TSA’s Mid-Sized Qualified Products List. At Smiths
Detection our goal is simple – to provide the security, peace of
mind and freedom of movement upon which the world depends – and
this has never been more important. CT technology equips airports
with powerful screening technology which strengthens security,
increases throughput and enhances the passenger experience.”
In 2019, Smiths Detection was awarded a contract to supply 300
Advanced Technology/ Computed Tomography (AT/CT) checkpoint
systems to airports across the US through the TSA’s AT/CT program.
Per the TSA contract, Smiths Detection manufactured 300 AT/CT
systems in Edgewood, MD and installed them across the US
throughout the COVID19 pandemic.
